Ferrari Theme Park
Euramax supplied the pre-coated aluminium for the Ferrari Theme Park in Abu Dhabi. A project of records. Apart from being the largest indoor theme park and housing the fastest roller coaster in the world it is also the largest standing seam metal roof in the world.
A project of superlatives
Situated right next to the brand new Abu Dhabi Grand Prix F1 circuit Benoy Architects designed the iconic roof on the classic body shell of the Ferrari GT car. The roof only is over 200.000 m2 whereas the total project volume including aluminium façade covering is approximately 300.000 m2. The equivalent of 50 football pitches!
Dedicated design consultation
Euramax focuses on high end project architecture. Our Area Managers offer design consultation to architects, which was also the case in the Ferrari project. Extensive evaluation with Benoy Architects and the investor Aldar Properties has led them to choose Euramax pre-coated aluminium in Ferrari Red and Silver.
Ultimate challenge
The combination of high gloss Ferrari colors and a harsh environment with salt (sea), sand (desert) and sun (high UV impact) meant a big challenge for our technicians. In close cooperation with our paint suppliers the EuraBuild PVDF 4L paint system with Lumi on topcoat was advised. This state-of-art paint system will cope with all environmental extremes. Today all coils have been painted, and we are anxiously waiting for the 1st of November 2009 when the eyes of the world will be on this building during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
